Know before you buy
While the high-quality ceramic is durable enough for daily use, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity and luster of the gloss glaze over time. We also suggest avoiding the microwave to prevent potential thermal shock to the finish.
The cups are shaped to fit naturally in the palm of your hand, providing a secure hold. Because ceramic is a natural insulator, the ergonomic curve allows you to cradle the cup comfortably while the heat dissipates gradually.
Due to the authentic Japanese pottery techniques used, each cup features unique variations in the glaze application. While they share a consistent color palette, you can expect subtle differences that make each piece feel one-of-a-kind.
These cups are designed in the traditional Japanese style, typically holding between 5 to 6 ounces. They are perfectly sized for standard servings of matcha, green tea, or herbal infusions.
The high-gloss glaze is smooth to the touch but not slippery. The ergonomic shape is specifically designed to provide enough surface area and contour for a steady, comfortable grip even when the cup is full.
